Getting around
Torghatten, the legendary mountain with its distinctive hole all the way through, you just have to visit. Man becomes small when wandering through the 160 meters (520 ft) long, 35 meters (115 ft) high and 15-20 meters (50-66 ft) wide tunnel formed during the Scandinavian Ice Age. Ice and water eroded the loose rock sediment whereas the harder rock types of the upper part of the mountain withstood these forces. The walk up the partly prepared path will normally take app 25-30 minutes. All traffic is at your own risk.
Herøy Church: Visit the beautiful Herøy Church, a wooden church dating back to the 19th century, known for its intricate architecture and interior.
